We had turkeys in the backyard of a house we were building in the middle of Boston. They attacked the chrome bumper on my truck and the mailman had to mace them a few times because they were so aggressive. One time we had to have a police detail for a concrete truck and the officer made us stop working because they were in the yard and getting aggressive and he didn't feel like shooting one. We have so many in Massachusetts now, but I couldn't believe it when I saw them in the middle of Boston. Our Founding Fathers would have had a nice turkey dinner, but the liberals in Beantown now think they are saving the species...

I used to do some volunteer work for a local wildlife rehabilitator for birds of prey. She handled a lot of other things, but I went out on a lot of the emergency calls for birds of prey. I cannot tell you how many calls we got that went like this. I got a sick hawk in my backyard. How do you know it is sick? It is just walking around on the ground. Id is swaying or stumbling? No it's just walking around. OH nevermind it just flew off. Or I got two insert bird here fighting in my backyard what do I do?

This is how I got roped into volunteering! This is the loser of a fight. And the lady liked how I handled it when I was dropping it off and asked if I had ever handled an eagle. I said no she said would you like to and the rest was history such cool birds.
